Koeman has been forced into a tactical re-think after the Everton squad was hit by a series of injuries in the lead up to the game.

Seamus Coleman suffered a season-ending double leg break playing for the Republic of Ireland last week, James McCarthy was injured in the warm-up of the same game and Ramiro Funes Mori may need surgery on a damaged knee.

Morgan Schneiderlin, carrying a calf injury picked up against Hull City earlier this month, has also been ruled out.
